ONE school in Wales is proving to be a training ground for international sporting stars, as its third pupil is selected to represent Wales.

This time, though, it's one of the female contingent of Christ College, Brecon, making a name for herself, as Kate Davies became the first female pupil to represent Wales on the cricket pitch.

Throughout Kate's time at Christ College she has always been a member of the boys' team and currently plays for the school 2nd XI.

Recently, she was chosen to represent the Welsh Women's Cricket Association U17 team and played against Sussex, winning the "Woman of the Match" award.

Phillip Jones, headmaster at Christ College, said, "We're delighted with Kate's achievement. It's often the boys that receive the sporting accolades, so I am delighted that Kate is representing the superior efforts from the females at Christ College."
